A look at radiologic technology education.

Radiologic technology education has been progressing for the last 80 years; however, we have seemingly reached a plateau. Educators in the profession believe there is need for a change in direction due to demands of the manpower market and outside agencies. The direction radiologic technology educators should follow has been questioned, but no definite answer has resulted. With these thoughts in mind, a decision was made at the Duke University Medical Center to survey the nation and collect data to aid its particular problem, as well as to lend educational direction.

Counseling in radiologic technology programs.

Rarely do radiologic technology programs have adequate faculty to provide full-time counselors for the student's personal, professional, and academic problems. The problems of using educational or administrative personnel as part-time couselors are discussed and the utilization of interested staff technologists in the role of student counselor is recommended.

Establishing two-year college affiliated programs in radiologic technology.

The practical considerations of instituting programs in radiologic technology at the two-year college levels are addressed. The authors attempt to identify a "check-list" of the areas that will be of vital concern to the prospective program director, including some specific exhibits relating to program implementation and operation.

Education in radiologic technology: an analysis.

One of the most important goals for the radiologic technology profession is to base its educational programs on evaluation of competence, therby assuring the employers, consumers, government agencies and other professionals that the profession is striving for quality performance by its graduates. The profession of radiologic technology is in a period of changes as Virginia A. Milligan so adequately described in her Jerman Memorial Lecture, "The Anatomy of Change". To achieve cohesiveness and accomplishment of goals, this change must be recognized and accepted, otherwise, fragmentation will result and destruction of the profession will occur from within.

Changing radiologic technology education: evolution or revolution? I. Past and present.

The radiologic technology profession, now over fifty years old, is still in a dynamic state. It has moved forward from commercially-sponsored, on-the-job training in the early years to the formal educational programs that are now the standard. The first part of a two-part article reviews the past and present educational accomplishments, defines some current educational methods, and provokes the reader to look at the profession in terms of what educational standards are needed for the future and determine how and when they should be achieved.

Impact of state licensure on selected aspects of radiologic technology: a 1975 survey.

A 1975 survey to determine the impact of state licensure on radiologic technology compared three licensure states with three states that had no laws regulating operators of radiographic equipment. The survey showed no significant differences in radiation protection practices, recruitment, availability, or economic status of technologists. However, school regulations in the licensure states did show a positive effect upon the quality of radiologic technology education.

Predicting clinical performance of radiologic technology students.

The lack of scientific studies on predictive criteria for evaluating the clinical potential of students in radiologic technology led to the current study. Students during a ten-year period was subjected to the ACT examinations. These scores were subsequently compared with the students' scores on the examination of The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, high school grade point average and earned high-school grades in pertinent subjects to see if any predictive factors were evidenced. The result showed correlation of some of these factors with the Registry score of sufficient statistical significance to warrant using them as part of the process for selecting students for radiologic technology programs.

Evaluation of the use of standardized recommendation forms in admissions in radiologic technology, medical technology, and dietetics.

The continuing decline in the number of applicants to allied health educational programs combined with the need to ensure that graduates are competent has made essential the development of reliable predictors that more fully assess the potential of all individuals in the restricted applicant pool. The letter of recommendation is the most commonly requested information that relates to personal qualities in college applicants, but little research has been conducted on the value of this predictor. The purpose of this study was to retroactively review how attribute ratings in letters of recommendation submitted on standardized forms (N = 500) related to the source of the reference and the admission status of students applying to allied health educational programs. Results indicated that some attribute ratings distinguish between students and some do not, that standardized forms can be refined by elimination of items that failed to distinguish students, that ratings vary significantly by type of rater, and that the relationship between rating scores and admission status supports the efficacy of the standardized recommendation forms.

What radiologic technology educators should know about due process of law.

Student rights and the responsibility of educators in providing adequate protection of those rights continues to be a major concern in all educational programs. Due process of law, as it pertains to the schools, outlines specific procedures that should be followed when disciplinary action must be taken involving a student. Applying these guidelines assures fundamental fairness and reasonableness.
